Budokai was developed by Dimps, the company Dimps was founded by former SNK and Capcom employees. Basically the co-creators of SF are now heading Dimps, to say that it isn’t a fighting game developer is silly.
I understand that for you Capcom fantards anything that doesn’t play like a traditional fighter isn’t legit, but Budokai 3 is well known for his depth.
This guy gets it. When I want a solid fighter, I play Super DBZ or the Budokai games. When I want to fly around and blow stuff up like the anime, I play Tenkaichi. You really can’t compare the games because their roles are so different.
And what exactly entitles a game to be a real fighting game? Having played Budokai on a competitive level, I can tell you that footsies, spacing, and mindgames are just as important there are they are in SF. Budokai may be primarily rushdown, but zoning plays a role too. Characters like Dabura and Piccolo (in both B3 and IW) have decent zoning options that are about forcing your opponent to make mistakes that you can punish.
I’m curious as to what these ‘rules’ are that separate Super DBZ from Budokai. I love both games, and they each have their own set of issues, but they’re still fun and I consider both of them to be solid fighters.
This is easily my favorite DBZ fighter. I actually still have this along with a lot of other PS2 fighters, I just don’t have the console, anymore.
Actually, the creator of SF2(Akira Nishitanii) founded Arika which went to work on the game this thread is about. The battle planner of SF2 and producer till Cvs2(Noritaka Funamizu) went to form Crafts & Meister which again is responsible for this game SDBZ. There is a lot more heavy weights behind SDBZ than any Dimps game.
Dimps president only did SF1 and early SNK games and had little to do with KoF he mainly worked on the Garou series. As for his company he doesn’t have any part of the development of the games like he did at SNK (Not SNKP), he’s there to run the business.

Now tell me how this doesn’t classify as a fighting game? I have been playing fighters since the days of Killer Instinct. Played Tekken, SF, MVC, Skullgirls, Super DBZ, Budokai, Blazblue Mortal Kombat and the list goes on. I cannot yet understand what everyone fascination is with thinking that anything that is not main stream or they don’t hear about in the news is not a fighter.
I literally know in depth gameplay in each one of those games and all of them are great series, each with their own levels of depth, difficulty and competitive aspects. Some excel in some areas better than others, but it goes vice versa too.
This generation of gamers is a little laughable, you treat games like SF4 or MVC3 like the Call of Duty of fighters. Hate to break the news to you folks, there are other better and just as good fighters out there.
You didn’t real my post at all. You just saw “hate” and decided to respond with an argument I already contradicted.
As mentioned earlier, it’s a fighting game, but it isn’t a good fighting game at all. It’s garbage, crap, shit, etc.
But to like a shitty fighting game is okay. Hell, I play BlazBlue. But you can’t deny the fact that a shitty fighter is shitty.
That whole comment has 0 thought pattern behind it. Can you actually elaborate on your knowledge of the series, your skill at it (which I doubt is much), whether you ever played it competitively and what exactly is it you dislike or consider as you say “garbage, crap, shit” in it?
Please enlighten us almighty. Blazblue is a great game, but so is Budokai, and so is SDBZ, and so is SF4, and so is MVC3. Only people who know nothing about a game call it garbage without any actual brain or knowledge behind their statement.
Can you at least attempt to provide us with a coherent, decent sentence or argument on what it is you dislike and what’s not good about it? Something that shows your brain functions like it should.
^Budokai is more mainstream than SDBZ.
Finally had a chance to dig deep into this game. I’ve been livestreaming Super DBZ and been having a blast, even putting SFxT to the side for a bit to focus on this.
Methinks I should bring my PS2 to Final Round and have this set up somewhere.
SDBZ is that game. ^what was your stream?
My stream is http://twitch.tv/psychoblue9
I’ll be running another stream today around 7:30 EST/4:30 PT.
I love the Budokai series, especially B3, IW, and SBAR. I play those every time I get.
SDBZ is great as well, though it has been a while since I played.
